The Bennington 23 SSRX 2021 vs Bennington 28743RCW I/O 2010 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Bennington 28743RCW I/O 2010 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Bennington 23 SSRX 2021 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bennington 28743RCW I/O 2010 could be the deciding factor.
